Mention influence on Travis Scott in the intro[edit]

The intro/topic paragraph notes "Cudi earned his first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 with "The Scotts", a collaboration with American rapper Travis Scott." If the goal if the intro and this line here to to establish Kid Cudi's relevancy, success, and infulence, I think that should be amended to note that Travis Scott's stage name derives from Kid Cudi's real name. Something along the lines of:

Cudi earned his first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 with "The Scotts", a collaboration with American rapper Travis Scott, whose stage name itself was partially influenced by Kid Cudi's given name (Scott Mescudi).

I don't know where that can be found in writing but this video shows Travis Scott mentioning the origin of his stage name, could be used as a citation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV9nArq7phA&ab_channel=TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.201.232.124 (talk) 06:37, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
